how do u remove smell of wee from mattress?

Question

the wee cat/human?! has dried and it smells so need 2 get rid of it please help if know any god ways -not bicarbonate of soda!!!

Answer 1

1) Biological cleaning.

You need to remove as much of the urine as possible by blotting it up with towels (You'll get through heaps of them, so be prepared beforehand). If the stain is fresh and wet then just apply lots of towels, lots of pressure (press, DON'T rub) and keep going until no more liquid comes to the surface (You may have to be prepared to keep going for an hour or so).
Once no more liquid comes up you need to saturate the urine with hydrogen peroxide, leave it to work its magic for 5 minutes and blot again with towels until the stain is dry.
If the stain is an old dry one then you can simply skip the initial blotting stage, pour enough H202 to saturate the stain and start blotting until dry.
All the towels can go in a regular machine wash when you have finished with them.

2) Odour removal

Sprinkle on some dry bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) or borax onto the mattress (make sure the mattress is virtually dry at this point otherwise you will end up with a paste that is difficult to remove), work it in gently with a soft brush or firm sponge and leave to work overnight.
Vacuum the dry powder off the following day.

Alternatively, make up a solution of regular washing up liquid (1/2 tsp detergent in a quart of warm water), agitate the water until you have lots of suds and apply the SUDS with a soft brush. Work your way in from the outside of the area you are cleaning and remember to frequently change the suds. Work with an almost dry brush in small areas at a time.

3) Stain removal

The application of H2o2 should already have addressed this, but if you skipped section 2 you may need to gently rub in a little dry borax as suggested if stains still persist. You may find that you need to repeat the entire process from step one if you have not fully succeeded.

4) Drying

It is vital that your mattress is thoroughly dry otherwise you have the ideal breeding ground for bacterial, viral or fungal growth. The best possible way to dry your mattress is outdoors in the sunshine, although we appreciate that is not practical for all. The sun has disinfecting and mild bleaching qualities and the fresh air will help to further neutralise any odours.
If this is not possible you will have to air the mattress thoroughly in the house - preferably by lying the mattress on its side to allow a free circulation of air.
Please don't put your mattress back onto the bed until it is completely dry!

Answer 2

I sincerely don't mean to sound rude, but if it's cat urine, then you're better off just disposing of the mattress and getting a new one. Cat urine is a scent that will NEVER truly be removed... ever.

If it's human urine, then take the mattress outside, get some detergent and a scrub brush and just scrub, scrub, scrub. Then spray the mattress with a clothing neutralizing spray and let it air dry. Once it's completely dry, then spray it some more.

However, I again think depending on how wet it is, as well as how long it's been wet, you may need to get a new mattress as mentioned before. The contained moisture is a wonderful breeding ground for worms and maggots.

Answer 3

Pour boiling salted water over the mattress and leave for about an hour . Put alot ot salt in the water this is really good for killing the smell of any odour. Afterwards spray with a little antibacterial spray and leave to dry.

Answer 5

U should try using one of those carpet cleaners hun, that will wash it and suck out all the muck too, do the whole matress for a brand new look and smell, then use a little febreeze to give it a fresher scent that will last.

Answer 6

I would burn the matteress and get a new one, first of all cat wee stinks and you can never get rid of the smell no matter what you do, human wee not as bad but still stinky.
You could always try that new carpet and upolstery cleaner its a foam that soak into the stain and pushes it out looks really good not sure of the name though.
keep pets off beds in future.

MY HUSBAND WEES THE BED WHEN HE'S DRUNK.[DIRTY GIT].WHAT I USED TO DO WAS,DISINFECT IT WITH ZOFLORA,THEN WHEN DRY,MIX FABRIC CONDITIONER WITH WATER IN A SPRAY BOTTLE AND SPRAY IT ALL. ZOFLORA IS A GEORGOUS SMELLING DISINFECTANT IN ALL DIFFERENT FRAGRENCES.IT COMES IN A GLASS BOTTLE AND ITS ABOUT 69P.IT REALLY HIDES THE SMELL OF URINE AND DISINFECTS AT THE SAME TIME.REMEMBER TO DO BOTH SIDES AND THE BASE.IVE GOT A CEILING FAN SO I PUT THAT ON TO DRY AND LEAVE THE BEDROOM WINDOWS OPEN.
IVE GOT A WATERPROOF SHEET NOW SO I NO LONGER HAVE TO CLEAN THE MATTRESS AFTER THE DIRTY BUGGER.
GOOD LUCK.
PS...DREAMWAVER-HOW DO YOU MANAGE TO PUT A MATTRESS IN A WASHING MACHINE?I'D LOVE TO KNOW.

Answer 8

Well if it was me i'd just throw it away and buy a new one, but if you have to keep it i'd wash it with hot soapy water but only small amounts so its not soaking wet and leave it with a wide open window to dry then spray febreeze on it as this is great for getting rid of odours.

Answer 9

I always use to scrub the mattress then spray with frebreeze when my daughter wet the bed and it totally removed the smell.
